Publisher's Synopsis
Lorna Blake is a woman able to create her own reality - a pathological liar, narcissist conman, and devoted single mother to two daughters, Jay and Molly. When her eldest needs lifesaving treatment that they cannot afford, Lorna takes up the risky but thrilling activity of taking her young daughters to the halls of wealthy strangers to beg, with tales of husbands dead, deserted, and insane. But as her daughters grow up struggling to differentiate between fact and fiction, it ultimately becomes harder for them to cleave themselves from their mother's web of lies and justifications.
